‘It’s hard to believe that DM Cameron is a debut novelist. The story and characters were beautifully and skilfully formed – that of a much more experienced writer. And the setting was magical in itself, so immersive you felt like you were there with the characters.’ Jodi Gibson (writer/blogger)

‘Cameron’s debut is a charming and mystical flight of fancy; the writing bewitching as she weaves a web of intrigue.’ Adelaide Advertiser.

‘I related strongly to this novel and found it interesting how old stories, beliefs and respect of the earth sits with today’s world overdevelopment and technology. This would perhaps appeal to fans of Hannah Kent’s The Good People’ Book Bonding Bookstore.

‘Excellent Stuff– a real page turner and hard to put down. I carved out extra reading time just so I could finish it. This book got carted into the bathroom with me, read over meals, read at work, and/or kept me up late at night. If this author has more work, I will certainly read it.’Sallyfromoz, Books and Musings from Down Under.
